DATA STORAGE CONVERSION
Byte to Bit.
Convert byte (B) to bit (b), with the math explained.
1 kB = 1,000 bytes; 1 KiB = 1,024 bytes. Lowercase b means bit; uppercase B means byte.
THE MATH, MADE SIMPLE
How to convert byte to bit
Multiply your byte value by 8 to get the equivalent in bit. Both units are normalized through the byte.
b = B × 810 B = 80 b
Result rounded to 12 significant digits. Change the precision in the calculator to suit your task.1 kB = 1,000 bytes; 1 KiB = 1,024 bytes. Lowercase b means bit; uppercase B means byte.
